Artist Introduction

Artist Richard Savage born in the north of England in 1962. I am a figurative artist striving to make my art challenging and thought provoking. You will find my work is as diverse as human nature itself aiming to capture a celebration of life in all its wonderful shades. I work from my Cambridgeshire studio, which is open to the public by arrangement.

I work mainly in acrylics but I am also happy working in oils, pastels, line and wash, watercolour and mixed media. I draw my inspiration from classical art, admiring the styles of Rafael, Rembrandt and the contemporary artist Boris Vallejo.

Current projects include concentrating on life like figurative art. I never shy away from provocative topics that include fetish, gothic, gay, lesbian, fantasy. I like my work to have a sexy feel to it but hope people see beyond the titillation to the real erotic underlying sensuality. .... more

Internet: I sell my work mainly over the Internet to my home market in the UK. I quickly discovered a globally appreciative audience and now a high percentage of my work is going to the United States.

Inspiration.
Well, it comes from all over the place, I might see a cosmetics poster, a girl in the street, an image in the most obscure place and I have the spark of an idea. A chunk of my work comes from publishers, who give me a brief; I try to capture the image they are looking for. I do get suggestions from clients who have bought from me in the past and I always take any ideas seriously. When it comes to erotic art, I feel a lot of people have it wrong, it is not what you can see that makes something erotic it is what you can’t see, or hope you can see. Just a glimpse of panties is erotic, yet a picture revealing all is not, or might not be. And one should never take for granted, the allure of the forbidden or the naughty. It is how the picture feels that makes it erotic. I am constantly on the look out for new images and new models.

I hate having my photo taken so this was a chore!

 

The actual pictures

Once I have the concept e.g. two girls kissing or a girl in the office or whatever, I look for source materials from my library, if nothing is forthcoming, I ask a Model to pose and get the image that way. I like to keep my work life like unless the client wants something different. The planning takes a while. I like my scenes nicely lit. Also something that was commented on, at a recent exhibition, I was asked the question why most of my pictures don’t have the subject or subjects looking at the viewer. I have always liked the idea that if you have two people sharing an intimate moment they should be interested in each other not the viewer. In addition, there is a voyeuristic element to the pictures, seeing something you perhaps should not see.

Technique

I will keep this short for non painters will be a bit bored with this! I usually paint on 300 – 450 gram paper with quite a rough texture, I also paint on canvas these days too. I use acrylics mainly, but I am happy to work in oils, inks, watercolour, whatever the client wants. I use a technique of many thin layerrs of wash and dry brush for fine details. Any artist who paints from life will tell you realistic skin tones are a challenge. And my advice to students is, practice, practice, practice. I was once asked “why can’t I paint like that?”. My reply is you probably could if you spent more time painting. It is not magic, it requires hard work. There is the element of gift, but even the most gifted need to work on technique.

I hope you will enjoy the pictures you find on this site.
